The Liquor Code of Turkey.

A common impression prevails to the
effect that the Turks, among their other
virtues, number that of sobriety. This
cannot be literally true, for our late Min
lister, Mr.. Cox, has been investigating the
matter The Turks have laws upon the
subject Of drunkenness and its punish
mcnt, and this is one of the clauses: ''In-
temperance is proved either by admission
of the person accused, or by witnesses
who have seen him in the act of drink
ing. The flavor Of wine from ones breath
is not a sufficient proof; he may have
eaten ounces, which give the same odor."
OF course, every man who is fond of the
bottle will lay It on ounces. 1t is posi-
BILE that ounces supply in Turkey the
place of cloves in American barrooms.
Very few men will admit being drunk,
even when their tongues and legs become
hopelessly tangled. In view Of the pun
ishment provided in Turkey for the Of
fcnse, it is presumed that ounces have to
bear heavy burden. Punishment for
intoxication is, good advice for tho first
time;' severe admonishment for the sec
ond time; and for every subsequent time
eighty blows Of the cudgel over the
stripped body. The striker, in operat-
ing, must not lift his hand higher than
his shoulders, and the club he uses for
this occasion must be short one"

Proverbs Relating to the Moon.

Weather proverbs relating to the moon
are thus given by the Boston Journal:
When the moon is visible in the day
time, the days are relatively cool.
In western Kansas it is said that when
the moon is near the full it never storms.
and the sailors say the full moon eats
clouds.
If the full moon rises clear, expect fine
weather.
A large ring around the moon and low
clouds indicate rain in twenty-four hours; !;
small ring and high clouds, rain in sew
eral days.
The larger the halo about the moon the
nearer the rain clouds, and the sooner the
rain may be expected.
When the moon is darkest near the
horizon, expect rain.
If the full moon rise pale, expect rain,
A red moon indicates wind
If on her cheeks you see the maiden's blush.
The ruddy moon foreshows the winds will
rush.
If the moon is seen between the scud
and broken clouds during a gale, it is
expected to scud away the bad weather.
In the old of the moon cloudy morn
ing bodies fair afternoon.
If there be general mist before sun
rise near the full of the moon, the weather
will be fine for some days.
If the moon show a silver shield,
Be not afraid to reap your field,
But if she rises halved round,
You soon will tread on deluged ground.
The rising or setting of the moon will
be followed by a decrease of storm
which is then prevailing.

SOLITUDE.

Not in the deepest tangles Of the wood,
The turtles haunt, the timid squirrels lair;
Not on the ocean beaches, rough and bare
With ncver-ending battles, unsubdued
In war Of winds and waters hoar and rude;
Not in the mountain passes, where the air
Sobs low, and life is like long despair
Thy home is not in these, o Solitude!
But in the busy concourse, long and loud,
Where not one pulse of human sympathy
Beats through the grasping spirits of the
crowd
Where each is rapt in snatching greedily
His brothers portion-'neath a shallow
shroud,
We know thy truest haunt and weep fo
thee

There are blacksmiths and blacksmiths.
Some making their living by shoeing
horses, and others take contracts to make
drop-hammers for the French Govern
ment. A firm of Brooklyn blacksmiths
is working its factory night and day on
one of these contracts, given out last fall
by one of General Boulanger's agents.
This firm has supplied drop-hammers to
France, Germany, Spain and Turkey,
and has had so many orders from foreign
governments that it has scarcely time to
do business with common people. Drop
hammers are used in concentrating, and
the Brooklyn firms work told in the
Franco German and Turco-R Russian war.
So long as the United States keeps at
peace, there is no reason why its manu-
iacturers shouldn't make ready profit

Date of the End Of the World

Sir w. Thompson, lecturing at the
Royal Institution, London, lately, set
forth the latest scientific theories concern
ing the origin, total amount and possible
duration OF the suns heat. After refer
ring to the theory of Helmholtz, that the
sun was a vast globe gradually cooling,
but as it cooled shrinking, and that the
shrinkage-which was the effect Of gravi-
ty upon its mass-kcpt up its tempera-
ture, said: "The total of the suns heat
was equal to that which would be required
to keep up 476, 600 millions of millions OF
horse power or about 1000 horse power
for every square metre-a little more than
a square yard-and yet the modern
dynamical theory of heat shows that the
SUMS mass would require only to fall in
or contract thirty-fve metres per annum
to keep up that tremendous energy. AT
.his rate the solar radis in 1000 years
time would be about Tooth per cent. less
than at present. A time would come
when the temperature would fall, and II
was thus inconceivabIe that the sun would
continue to omit heat sufficient to sustain
existing life on the globe for more thar
10000, 900 years.-Philadelphia Ledger.
